I know it's natural to do that, but if you look at your LEFT hand, your right hand will automaticly hit the right strings almost every time. When I teach fingerpicking, after the first lesson when they come back, I hold a piece of paper over their right hand so they can't see it, and they are always amazed that they can play the piece without looking. |

It's quite strange because I spent most of the first week reading the tab while playing - it's only when I don't have anything to look at that my eyes gravitate to my right hand.
I really appreciate your assistance - Thanks :) |

I like to play (fingerpick) in complete darkness, or with my eyes closed. I think I do better. |
